HAHA some people are funny. It only takes one line to win if you are lucky enough to win. So that would be $1 played. So what if someone played $5 or $10 on the lottery. Not that you can buy a months worth of groceries for that price. There are several people receiving assistance that are working for a living so the money the government is taking from their paychecks is also part of the food they put on the table. I am working and I am also receiving food stamp assistance. I have worked since I was 15 years old. I lost my job of 7 years due to downsizing a few years back. Therefore I had to get assistance as I have the only income that comes into my household. I had to survive and yes I am still getting assistance for food. Last time I checked I am paying taxes. So I will not judge anyone who is receiving assistance Legitimately and I home none of you who are judging and dictating every fall into needing assistance of any kind. I heard my Aunt say People in Glass Houses shouldn't throw stones.
